Graptopetalum paraguayense (Ghost Plant)

Graptopetalum paraguayense is a clump-forming succulent commonly known as Ghost Plant or Mother-of-Pearl Plant. The leaves are thick and grayish-white, with a tint of pale purple when consistently exposed to sun. The leaves also have a slight fold in the middle and pointy at the tips. Its leaves and stems also have farina (or epicuticular wax), a protective powdery coating of wax. Graptopetalum paraguayense produces white, star-shaped flowers with red spots.

In the Philippines, Ghost Plant is commonly mistaken with Ghosty (one of its hybrid).

Graptopetalum paraguayense is one of my most favorite succulents. Ghost plant seems to be a rare succulent here in the Philippines, so it's been on my wishlist for a very long time. I was finally able to purchase my first batch of Ghost plant last year (pictures below). As the plant adjusts to the new environment, we will get to see it's real form! I hope to see one of them blooms!
